I played at the open mic tonight. I played "Play Crack The Sky" by Brand New by myself, and "Soco Amaretto Lime" by Brand New with Steve. I wasn't too happy with my solo performance, but I absolutely loved playing with Steve. It just fueled my yet un-quenched lust for group musical creativity. Right before Steve and I played, my ex-fling walked through the door, sat down, and watched. As soon as we were done, she left. It was kind of weird. I really didn’t want to see her. It was lame. But Steve and I got some good claps when we were done. And the high five I gave him as soon as we finished was probably the most justified and deserved high five I’ve ever shared with anyone. I loved playing tonight.

I keep hearing Steve and Felix talk about starting a band or playing together more and more often. It’s something I’d love to be a part of. I could even just play bass for them. I could learn it easy and I think I could come up with some cool bass lines.

I’m not going to have much spare time to do anything really. As soon as Leah leaves for school, I’m getting a second job. Working the midnight shifts at UPS five nights a week. I’ll wake up at 8:00am. Go to work at Vision until 5:00pm. Go home, take a nap. Wake up at 9:00pm and go to UPS. Work 10:00pm until 3:00am. Go home, sleep, start over. It’s going to be hell on me. 60 work hours a week. But it’ll be worth it when I purchase my house.

Leah and I have been great. No real problems. Quirks… but no real issues. This year with her gone at school is going to be difficult. I’ve spent a few days without seeing her in the last months but they haven’t been easy. We miss each other. We’re very happy. I know we can get through the distance between us though. We’re grown up enough and level headed enough to handle it.

We need to reclaim the park
